As an alumna, a former Orange Key chair and now, a University employee, I read Adam Bradlow '11's column on the names of Princeton buildings ("What's in a Name?", April 17) with some interest.
The campus elections these past two weeks have been quite an eye-opener. At times, I've wondered whether the national campaign and international scene were being played out on smaller scale within the Orange Bubble.
Princeton is renowned as a research university that is also committed to educating undergraduates. The University demonstrates this commitment by requiring all professors to teach and partially basing tenure decisions on teaching ability.
You know how I know that Princeton students are actually as dorky as our reputation suggests? The only thing that can rouse us from our sleep at 7 a.m.

Ahhh, the last week of classes. Faces all around us shine from the bounteous promise of sun and summer.
When my college friends ask me, "How's grad school?" I can tell from their hopeful looks and upbeat tone that they want me to tell them how much fun I'm having.
As the Fed and the Treasury once again staff the shovel brigade behind one of Wall Street's periodic asset-bubble parades - lest the foul economic odor in its wake seep too deeply into the rest of the economy - my mind wanders back to spring 2002, when the previous asset bubble had burst.
Earlier this year I was walking around campus with a friend when we passed an acquaintance. We were invited to a small get together and entered a cozy common room.
It's the answers, not the questions, that are really inflammatoryRegarding ?Has the USG lost it?' (Friday, April 25, 2008)
The two places you are most likely to find me are East Pyne, where I have an office in the Department of Classics and a foot in the Program in Linguistics, and Firestone Library, where I don't have an office but whose floors feel the stamp of my feet every day.
Frist Campus Center, April 21, 8:40 p.m.A University student associated with the USG reported an amendment missing from constitution.
